The Vampyre by John WIlliam Polidori
Unleash the Original Aristocrat of the Night: The Story That Birthed the Modern Vampire.
Before Dracula stalked the night, before gothic romance captivated millions, there was Lord Ruthven—the enigmatic, seductive, and utterly ruthless nobleman from John William Polidori's groundbreaking tale, The Vampyre.
Step into a world of dark glamour and chilling suspense with this foundational text of vampire literature. Born from the same stormy night that gave us Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Polidori's masterpiece redefined a myth. He transformed the folkloric monster into a sophisticated, charismatic predator who moves effortlessly through high society, preying on the elite from within their own glittering circles.
